World Mental Health Day Walk

Today we took staff from The Complete Construction Company NW Ltd, The Complete Scaffolding Company NW Ltd, and a few others on a nice 2-hour trek.

The lads and ladies had some great chats and the feedback was that they really enjoyed it. Big shout-out to the management team, Luke and Sarah for letting them take the day off—that’s a solid boost for staff wellbeing.

A big thank you to Thatch and Thistle, Nelson for organising a fantastic spread for us – delicious snacks, tea, coffee and great hospitality.

Big thumbs up to a brilliant local Company for looking after their people. Here’s to more walks, chats, and wellbeing moments together.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a journey. Walking together makes the path a little clearer.”🧡



If you’d like Walk and Talk at your workplace, give us a shout. We’ll tailor a wellbeing walk to suit your team.

Men Talk PAC - Positive Action in the Community

This evening, Maj took a group of young people from The Manchester College, King’s Trust programme, on a trek.

From Coldwell Activity Centre to The Doorway to Pendle, near Boulsworth Hill. These young people were absolutely amazed by our beautiful scenery. They took in the views and snapped lots of photos 📸. A great group with lots of good conversations. It was a perfect evening for a walk.

Thank you to Coldwell Activity Centre - Group Accommodation for this fantastic opportunity 😊
